I start Acronis as admin. Tried screen refresh, closing and restarting Acronis. Any other steps, workarounds, to try ?? :-/

Cam, welcome to these public User Forums.

What version of Acronis True Image are you using here, or do you have Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office?

What do you mean by the 'security status icon' in the context of your topic?

Do you see all expected icons when logged in as an Admin user?

Acronis True Image version 2019 Build 17750 showing today up to date and activated. I paid week ago for 3 pc use and yr of active protection, support, etc. I referring to it's task bar active protection shield icon that appears in right side of bottom task bar with time/date etc. I usually use my windows non-admin login for extra safety. Acronis start on that desktop always asks for win admin pass. So I guessed it was same for Acronis as being logged in to my win10 admin desktop. Maybe for True Image it is. I suspect for the other files it runs like for the shield icon active protection, does not have needed winadmin permissions. I got it working !! :-) By rebooting in as my win admin desktop log in and going thru the following steps .... : I added True Image startup short cut to start up folder of task manager... and in task manger details view enabled the 4 Acronis files shown there which were showing disabled. This could not be changed in win non-admin desktop log on. Made sure the active protection icon was set to on in Acronis settings. Rebooted to win admin again. BINGO !! There is the blue active protection icon !! ;-) Hope this helps others. ;-) Thx for your inquiry it reminded me I should share what I learned. how I did it, etc. ;-) Resolved. :-) IT ALSO SHOWS IN MY WIN10 NON-ADMIN DESKTOP !! :-)
